These settings configure Optimize mode (multiple back-to-back tests). They are specified in an OptimizeSettings section and correspond to the controls in the Optimize dialog. Optimize settings specified in a script are shown in the dialog when it opens.
OptAnchor - whether and how to anchor the start or end date of multi-interval optimizations / walk-forward
OptByStrategy - run the optimization separately for each strategy
OptBySymbol - run the optimization separately for each symbol
OptClearResults - clear the active results window before running an optimization
OptContinueResults - resume a stopped optimization from the tests already in ResultsFile (Combinatorial mode only)
OptimizeMode - the type of optimization to perform (Combinatorial, Sequential, Genetic, Random, Defaults Only)
OptIterations - run the configured test multiple times (required by Genetic and Random modes)
OptKeepBest - keep only the N best-scoring tests (requires OptSortResults)
OptKeepByDate - apply OptKeepBest to each date interval separately
OptKeepBySymbol - apply OptKeepBest to each For Each Symbol test
OptKeepNoTrades - keep result rows for parameter combinations that produced zero trades
OptMultiSaveAs - perform SaveStatsAs and/or SaveTradesAs once per test in the optimization
OptMutatePct - mutation probability for Genetic optimization
OptNoDialog - run the optimization without displaying the Optimize dialog first
OptNoStats - drop per-period stat details from each test to allow much larger optimization runs
OptScoreCol - name of the Results column to use as the optimization score (fitness function)
OptShards - launch N child processes to parallelize a Combinatorial optimization across CPU cores
OptShowResults - when to display the results window during a run (Live, AtEnd, None)
OptSortResults - re-sort the result rows by OptScoreCol after each test
OptSummaryLog - display a summary log when the optimization run finishes
OptTestInterval - spacing between date intervals (in OptTimeUnit units)
OptTestLength - length of each date interval (in OptTimeUnit units)
OptTimeUnit - time unit for multi-interval optimizations or walk-forward (None, Years, Months, Weeks, Days)
OptWalkForward - generate a walk-forward test from the multi-interval optimization
